We used fully cosmological, high resolution N-body + SPH simulations to follow the formation of disk galaxies with rotational velocities between 135 and 270 km/sec in a Lambda CDM universe. The simulations include gas cooling, star formation, the effects of a uniform UV background and a physically motivated description of feedback from supernovae. The host dark matter halos have a spin and last major merger redshift typical of galaxy sized halos as measured in recent large scale N--Body simulations. The simulated galaxies form rotationally supported disks with realistic exponential scale lengths and fall on both the I-band and baryonic Tully Fisher relations. An extended stellar disk forms inside the Milky Way sized halo immediately after the last major merger. The combination of UV background and SN feedback drastically reduces the number of visible satellites orbiting inside a Milky Way sized halo, bringing it in fair agreement with observations. Our simulations predict that the average age of a primary galaxys stellar population decreases with mass, because feedback delays star formation in less massive galaxies. Galaxies have stellar masses and current star formation rates as a function of total mass that are in good agreement with observational data. We discuss how both high mass and force resolution and a realistic description of star formation and feedback are important ingredients to match the observed properties of galaxies.

Understanding the formation and evolution of early-type, spheroid-dominated galaxies is an open question within the context of the hierarchical clustering scenario, particularly, in low-density environments. Our goal is to study the main structural,
dynamical, and stellar population properties and assembly histories of field spheroid-dominated galaxies formed in a LCDM scenario to assess to what extend they are consistent with observations. We selected spheroid-dominated systems from a LCDM simulation that includes star formation, chemical evolution and Supernova feedback. A sample of 18 field systems with Mstar <= 6x10^10 Msun that are dominated by the spheroid component. For this sample we estimate the fundamental relations of ellipticals and then compared with current observations. The simulated spheroid galaxies have sizes in good agreement with observations. The bulges follow a Sersic law with Sersic indexes that correlate with the bulge-to-total mass ratios. The structural-dynamical properties of the simulated galaxies are consistent with observed Faber-Jackson, Fundamental Plane, and Tully-Fisher relations. However, the simulated galaxies are bluer and with higher star formation rates than observed isolated early-type galaxies. The archaeological mass growth histories show a slightly delayed formation and more prominent inside-out growth mode than observational inferences based on the fossil record method. The main structural and dynamical properties of the simulated spheroid-dominated galaxies are consistent with observations. This is remarkable since none of them has been tuned to be reproduced. However, the simulated galaxies are blue and star-forming, and with later stellar mass growth histories as compared to observational inferences. This is mainly due to the persistence of extended discs in the simulations. Abridged
Associations of dwarf galaxies are loose systems composed exclusively of dwarf galaxies. These systems were identified in the Local Volume for the first time more than thirty years ago. We study these systems in the cosmological framework of the $Lam
bda$ Cold Dark Matter ($Lambda$CDM) model. We consider the Small MultiDark Planck simulation and populate its dark matter haloes by applying the semi-analytic model of galaxy formation SAG. We identify galaxy systems using a friends of friends algorithm with a linking length equal to $b=0.4 ,{rm Mpc},h^{-1}$, to reproduce the size of dwarf galaxy associations detected in the Local Volume. Our samples of dwarf systems are built up removing those systems that have one (or more) galaxies with stellar mass larger than a maximum threshold $M_{rm max}$. We analyse three different samples defined by ${rm log}_{10}(M_{rm max}[{rm M}_{odot},h^{-1}]) = 8.5, 9.0$ and $9.5$. On average, our systems have typical sizes of $sim 0.2,{rm Mpc},h^{-1}$, velocity dispersion of $sim 30 {rm km,s^{-1}} $ and estimated total mass of $sim 10^{11} {rm M}_{odot},h^{-1}$. Such large typical sizes suggest that individual members of a given dwarf association reside in different dark matter haloes and are generally not substructures of any other halo. Indeed, in more than 90 per cent of our dwarf systems their individual members inhabit different dark matter haloes, while only in the remaining 10 per cent members do reside in the same halo. Our results indicate that the $Lambda$CDM model can naturally reproduce the existence and properties of dwarf galaxies associations without much difficulty.
We use the APOSTLE $Lambda$CDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of the Local Group to study the recent accretion of massive satellites into the halo of Milky Way (MW)-sized galaxies. These systems are selected to be close analogues to the Larg
e Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the most massive satellite of the MW. The simulations allow us to address, in a cosmological context, the impact of the Clouds on the MW, including the contribution of Magellanic satellites to the MW satellite population, and the constraints placed on the Galactic potential by the motion of the LMC. We show that LMC-like satellites are twice more common around Local Group-like primaries than around isolated halos of similar mass; these satellites come from large turnaround radii and are on highly eccentric orbits whose velocities at first pericentre are comparable with the primarys escape velocity. This implies $V_{rm esc}^{rm MW} (50 $ kpc$)sim 365$ km/s, a strong constraint on Galactic potential models. LMC analogues contribute about 2 satellites with $M_*>10^5, M_odot$, having thus only a mild impact on the luminous satellite population of their hosts. At first pericentre, LMC-associated satellites are close to the LMC in position and velocity, and are distributed along the LMCs orbital plane. Their orbital angular momenta roughly align with the LMCs, but, interestingly, they may appear to counter-rotate the MW in some cases. These criteria refine earlier estimates of the LMC association of MW satellites: only the SMC, Hydrus1, Car3, Hor1, Tuc4, Ret2 and Phoenix2 are compatible with all criteria. Carina, Grus2, Hor2 and Fornax are less probable associates given their large LMC relative velocity.
We use the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments ( EAGLE ) suite of hydrodynamical cosmological simulations to measure offsets between the centres of stellar and dark matter components of galaxies. We find that the vast majority (
>95%) of the simulated galaxies display an offset smaller than the gravitational softening length of the simulations (Plummer-equivalent $epsilon = 700$ pc), both for field galaxies and satellites in clusters and groups. We also find no systematic trailing or leading of the dark matter along a galaxys direction of motion. The offsets are consistent with being randomly drawn from a Maxwellian distribution with $sigma leq 196$ pc. Since astrophysical effects produce no feasible analogues for the $1.62^{+0.47}_{-0.49}$ kpc offset recently observed in Abell 3827, the observational result is in tension with the collisionless cold dark matter model assumed in our simulations.
In this work we discuss a general approach for the dissipative dark matter considering a nonextensive bulk viscosity and taking into account the role of generalized Friedmann equations. This generalized $Lambda$CDM model encompasses a flat universe w
ith a dissipative nonextensive viscous dark matter component, following the Eckart theory of bulk viscosity. In order to compare models and constrain cosmological parameters, we perform Bayesian analysis using one of the most recent observations of Type Ia Supernova, baryon acoustic oscillations, and cosmic microwave background data.
